The Mines of the West
Author: Rossiter W. Raymond
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781331908432
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Excerpt from The Mines of the West: A Report to the Secretary of the Treasury Sir: An appropriation having been made by Congress to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to collect reliable statistics of the mineral resources of the United States, a special appointment was conferred upon Mr. J. Ross Browne, under which he performed this service in the States and Territories west of the Rocky mountains. To Mr. James W. Taylor the duty of collecting similar statistics east of the Rocky mountains was assigned. The position held by Mr. Browne having become vacant, and it being in the opinion of the department important that the work should be continued, you have this day been appointed a special commissioner for the collection of statistics in the western division above specified. A copy of the instructions under which Mr. Browne performed his duties is herewith enclosed. Inasmuch as his preliminary report, printed by Congress in 1867, and his subsequent report for 1868, now in the hands of the public printer, cover the material points embraced in the instructions, it will be unnecessary for you to enter into similar investigations in detail, except in cases where omissions may have occurred, or where the information obtained may appear to be erroneous or imperfect. The most important subjects for inquiry at present seem to be - First. As to the different processes of treating the ores, their chemical combinations, and the system demonstrated by practical experience to be the most successful. Second. The relative merits of the various inventions, machines, and mechanical contrivances now in use or projected for the reduction of the precious metals, and for all other purposes connected with the business of mining and metallurgy. Third. The special needs of the great mining interest, how it can be encouraged and rendered most productive, how far individual enterprise should be left untrammelled by legislative action, and to what extent and in what instances government might properly lend its aid to facilitate the development of the mines and thus arrest the present annual decrease in the production of bullion. Fourth. What has been the experience, of other countries, resulting from the establishment of national institutions for the education of miners, and how far would the systems prevailing in Europe be applicable to our people or appropriate under our government? General suggestions of this kind cannot of course always be implicitly carried out, but it is expected that your scientific and practical experience will enable you to furnish valuable information on the subjects indicated. It will be necessary, in the performance of the duties assigned to you, that you should visit in person the principal States and Territories embraced within your division. You will be pleased to submit your report to this department on or before the first day of October next. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
